I am in between two giants of the blogosphere. On the left is Blogie Robillo, Mindanao’s blogging ambassador to the world, and to my right is Mr. Wordpress himself, Matt Mullenweg. For me, WordCamp Philippines has been the highlight of my blogging life this year. I learned so many things, things that would have taken me a long time to research, but because of the nice people at WordCamp (people like the Mindanao Bloggers), I have been treated to a smorgasboard of Wordpress lessons, useful tips and a formal introduction to bloggers who shake and move the Pinoy blogosphere.

The event was wonderfully managed. Kudos to the MIndanao Bloggers who organized and prepared for it. Yes, it was a great success! Thanks to Buddy Gancenia for letting me tag along during his video coverage of the major talks during the breakaway and plenary sessions. I hope to be in WordCamp next year!!!!!

WordCamp Philippines: I’m going, how about you?

Thanks to AJ and his plurk, I wouldn’t have known about the registration for WordCamp Philippines. What is WordCamp? It’s an international get-together of Wordpress users with a common goal of learning from one another and havin’ a great time! It’s one big blogger hobnob and a chance to learn more the tool we all use to publish to the Web.

Having come from Blogger, it was quite a wrestle getting used to the GUI of Wordpress, but nights of self-study proved to be helpful. Codex was helpful, enough to help me start blogging again, but there were several technical challenges that kept me from fully utilizing Wordpress. Now, with WordCamp Philippines, I can learn as much as I can, and probably even increase traffic. I’m very excited to join this event. Anybody who uses Wordpress MUST join WordCamp. Interested? Register now. The event will be on September 6, 2008 at the College of Saint Benilde, Taft Ave, Manila.

My personal congratulations and thanks go out to the Mindanao bloggers for their efforts in helping bring WordCamp to the Philippines. The same goes out to the other great sponsors:
